The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Cities Improvement Projects (KPCIP) will improve the quality of life of the residents of five KP cities, including Abbottabad, Kohat, Mardan, Mingora, and Peshawar, directly benefitting about 6 million of urban population. KPCIP will help selected cities improve their access to quality urban services through three interlinked outputs: (i) Climate resilient and gender friendly urban infrastructure improve, (ii) Institutional capacities of urban service providers and governments strengthened, and (iii) Increased women’s participation in urban governance and access to economic opportunities. 2. KPCIP will support the Government of Pakistan’s development priorities, established in (i) the National Water Policy (2018), (ii) the Local Government Act (2019), and (iii) Pakistan Vision 2025. The project is also aligned with ADB’s operational priorities of (i) addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalities; (ii) accelerating progress in gender equality; (iii) tracking climate change, building climate and disaster readiness; (iv) making cities more liveable; and (v) strengthening governance and institutional capacity, outlined in ADB’s Strategy 2030, and is included in ADB’s country operations business plan for Pakistan, 2021–2023. 3. The project readiness financing (approved in March 2019) has financed the preparation and engineering design of the KPCIP. The Department of Local Government, Elections and Rural Development Department (LGE&RDD), the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, will be the executing agency for the project and the city governments of the five target cities, including the respective Water and Sanitation Services Companies, will be the implementing agencies. 4. The Project has the following four major components: ▪ Improvement of water supply systems in five cities. ▪ Development of sewage treatment plants (STPs) in two cities. ▪ Provision of Integrated Solid Waste management (ISWM) system in four cities. ▪ Development of Urban/Green Spaces in five cities. 2 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Cities Improvement Environmental Management Plan for Project (KPCIP) Bagh-e-Naran Park - Peshawar 5. The Bagh-e-Naran Extension located in Phase 1 of Peshawar City’s Hayatabad residential area and it aims to develop the relatively unutilized area into a place of recreation for the surrounding residents and revitalize the area on the whole. The area currently has a moderate vegetation of eucalyptus trees. 6. Although the storm water channel does not normally run the risk of overflowing, in order to withstand any unexpectedly high flows, which are extremely rare, this project will nonetheless also serve to strengthen the capacity of the channel to accommodate even any higher than normal flows of water. Visitors of the existing Bagh-e-Naran and residents of Phase 1, 2, 5 and 8 in Hayatabad will have easy access to the proposed extension. The location of the proposed park is provided as Figures 1 and 2 below. 1.1 Project Need 7. There is an ever-increasing demand for recreational spaces for the public in the rapidly expanding city of Peshawar. Existing parks in the city include popular destinations such as Bagh-e-Naran, Tatara Park, Wazir Bagh, Company Bagh, Shahi Bagh and Garrison Park. None of these parks, however, offer outdoor sports facilities or breathing spaces with significant tree plantation. Citizens lack opportunities to adopt healthy active lifestyles and resort to vacant lots and round-abouts to engage in outdoor recreation. 8. The development of extension of Bagh-e-Naran phase 1 of Hayatabad in Peshawar aims to address the lack of outdoor recreational and breathing spaces in the city. The site covers a total area of 13.125 acres (105 kanals) along the banks of Gandao Khwar. It has the potential to be developed as a park for multi-purpose activities such as: ▪ Jogging tracks ▪ Sports courts (Basketball-2 and Lawn tennis-2) ▪ Open air gym ▪ Spaces for Families 3 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Cities Improvement Environmental Management Plan for Project (KPCIP) Bagh-e-Naran Park - Peshawar 9. The Park will serve up to 189,049 residents in

    l AVALANCHE HAZARD IN KAGHAN VALLEY, HIMALAYA RANGE, PAKISTAN 3 Fes de scally2 and Jim Gardner Abstract.--Avalanche hazard in Kaghan Valley, Himalaya Range, Pakistan is being investigated. Long, steep slopes and heavy winter snowfall combine to produce frequent avalanche activity. Individual paths and events attain extremely large sizes by most recognized classifications. Usual approaches to hazard investigation such as mapping of paths is made difficult by landscape alteration by centuries of intensive agricultural land use. While local inhabitants have adjusted well to avalanches, including recognition of beneficial aspects, developments by outsiders are increasing the overall levels of risk in Kaghan. INTRODUCTION Avalanches have been under study in mountain­ in the mountainous areas and in strategic matters ous, developed countries since, in some cases, the (with reference to the nearby Indian border). eighteenth century, primarily in response to the hazard they pose to transportation, recreation, mining and habitation.

  • The Higher Himalaya Crystalline Unit, Upper Kaghan Valley, Nw
    Geol. Bull. Univ. Peshawar, 1991, Vol. 24, pp. 109-125 'swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland '~nstituteof Geology, Univmity of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan ABSTRACT Kaghan valley, in north Pakistan, provides at2 unparalleled cross-section of the Indian Plate in the Himalaya, with all of the tectonic units, structural features and metamorphic grades of the Indian Plate exposed in one valley. The Higher Himalaya Crystalline of the NW Himalaya, which crops out in the upper reaches of the valley, is a complex sequence of granites, gneisses, Calc-pelites, metapelites, marbles, amphibolites, quartzites and eclogites. It is bound by two major thrusts: The Main Central Thrust (MCT) to the south and the Main Mantle Thrust (MMT) to the north, which have subsequently led to the exposure of some of the deepest level rocks of the Indian plate during its collision with the Asian plate. A complex deformationnl history ofpre-, syn-, andpost- "Himalayan"age is associated with a pre- to syn- deformational upper amphibolite (kyanite to sil- limanite) to eclogite facies metamorphism which reached inplaces over 650 OC, as evidenced by minor insitu granitiza.tion. The Higher Himalaya Crystalline of Kaghan Valley is structurally posi- tioned between three major syntaxes: the Hazara - Kashmir Syntaxis (HKS), the Kaghan Syntaxis (KS) and the Nanga Pnrbat Syntuis (NPS) which are inter- preted as forming due to a change in transport direction. Between the Kaghan Syntaxis and the Nanga Pnrbat Syntaxis, the Higher Himalaya Crystalline con- sists of a polyphase, superposed folded domain which produces the Burawai syncline, the Besal anticline and synclines and other large scale features located to the south in Neelum Valley.
